Aurora donates toward new defibrillator at fairgrounds

Aurora Medical Center in Manitowoc County has made a donation toward the purchase of a new Automated External Defibrillator for the Manitowoc County Expo & Fairgrounds, a donation designed to help save live in the event of a cardiac arrest.

Each year in the U.S., more than 359,000 people experience a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting, according to the American Heart Association, and less than 10 percent of victims survive. Immediate implementation of CPR and early defibrillation with an AED can double a victim’s survival rate, according to AHA.

Aurora Medical Center in Manitowoc contributed $1,500 toward the purchase of the new AED, and also provided staff to offer training to volunteers and fair employees on how to use the device.

All proceeds will support local Aurora Cancer Care programs and services.

The Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation gave a 50 percent match for all funds raised.

Felician employees receive memory loss certification

Connie Thimmig, director of enrichment services, and Tim Reinemann, quality of life supervisor, have become Certified TimeSlips Facilitators at Felician Village in Manitowoc.

TimeSlips is a program that infuses creativity with storytelling into daily relationships, activities and the care community as a whole, which helps to improve the well-being of residents, especially those with memory loss.

Multiple studies attest to the power of TimeSlips to help improve relationships between resident “storytellers” and staff, friends and family.

A session of TimeSlips includes gathering a group of residents. Each resident is given a picture and then asked open-ended questions about the picture.

The facilitators transcribe the exact responses from the storytellers on a flip chart and create a story. There is no pressure to remember, just the freedom to use their imagination; there is no right or wrong answer.

Felician Village was one of 50 Wisconsin nursing homes awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services for the Creative Community of Care program that includes the TimeSlips storytelling program.
